Mama’s stepgrandson, David, when he worked at a big cat reserve. Mama, are they ready yet? Well, Mary McNeil (thank you, Mary) sent me an amazing video this morning, and I think all of us kitties will be thrilled to have these in the summer!...

Should I worry? Well, everyone in this house is in love with the little marble horse. I can’t really say ‘pony’ because it seems to be a full-size horse even though awfully small and compact. The sculptor lived near the marble quarries in Italy, and mama thinks he is...

Well, here’s the surprise from via della Gatta. For years, mama and papa have walked up and down this street because it’s the way to our apartment and to another shopping area, but they never wondered why the street is called what it is! And clearly they never looked UP! A 91-year...

Snuggling with my new papa. Well, I am beginning to understand just what sort of place I have landed in and who these anthros are. I overheard papa telling mama he wanted to give her a snappy bathing suit he had seen. He’s like that, he’s always wanting to give mama...
